Motion for Preliminary Injunction

A Motion for Preliminary Injunction is a legal request filed by a plaintiff in a copyright infringement lawsuit, asking the court to issue an order prohibiting the defendant from continuing to engage in the alleged infringing activity pending the final resolution of the case. To obtain a preliminary injunction, the plaintiff must show a likelihood of success on the merits, irreparable harm in the absence of the injunction, a balance of hardships favoring the plaintiff, and the public interest. If granted, the injunction can prevent further damage to the plaintiff’s rights and preserve the status quo until a final judgment is reached.
